Apology not accepted

Wow. I’ll put this as simply as possible. We all know about the paving on the road to hell and we all have to be accountable for plans we put forward. The mantra of “they screwed it all up!” fails to translate to “I’m sorry” in my book. It might be all we get, but it’s just not good enough. Heck, I had my fill of apology/self-justification from McNamara in “Fog of War” and the Vanity Fair article is worse. We are all afraid to truly face our failures on some level, especially when they have cost the lives of so many. My advice for these gentlemen is to take their time…and take tips on what NOT to do from the great war tribunals of our age.
